What Crazy Electrical gremlins do you have??
Ill start off. When I turn on my map lights my seatbelt lights turn on. Also before i redid my steering wheel my horn would only honk when turned 180deg. Also when my auto seatbelt opens my clock turns of and only turns on when its closed.
What strange elec problems do you guys have? |

Whenever I adjust my drivers seat (slide it forward or back) my seatbelt chime will randomly go off for the following week. That's my S13 Electrical Gremlin. Also when I bought the car my tailights were dimmer on one side, but I solved that by cleaning the grounds inside the housings.

for the guy that has this problem, you should take the steering wheel off lightly sand and then re-grease the contact points. this happened to me when i put on a momo hub, i had to dremel off the plastic surrounding the hub to get a nice contact. |

My girlfriend's S13 dash lights flicker between the day setting and the night setting when she has the headlights on. She also has the most schizophrenic temperature gauge known to man. I mean it jumps all over the place. Goes down while cruising goes up to max at idle. I checked the engine, it was not overheated.
My 280z doesn't have too many gremlins, but here's kinda one: I had to rewire the turnsignals, so whenever the headlights are on, it takes like 2 seconds for the signal to light up after I flip the switch.

I can only get the sunroof to go into the tilt position if its the third thursday of the month on a leap year and there is a full moon.
My horn stays stuck in a wierd way. The sound it makes is like a plusing type beep not one long beep. I pulled the fuse out months ago. lol. I have the stock radio, when I turn it on it'll stay on for a few seconds, then turn off. I have to do this back and forth for a while untill it stays on. The CD player no longer works. (Alpine HU coming when I'm no longer broke)

all of my interior lights (except boost controller and gauges) and exterior lights pulse when the car is idling...alternator is good and so is battery
once driving everything seems to be fine or it just pulses so fast I can't tell it's happening

my driverside window is testy, it rolls up and down when it wants to, you can hear the relay click and you can roll it up and down, and it will click again and stop. my favorite gremlin is that you can't start my car unless you click on the corner lights. I had a chick steal my keys once and try to take my car, i laughed and said fine, you win take it. 15 minutes later, she gave up, came back in and threw my keys at me and told me i suck.

(S13) One day my wipers stopped working, but the way it happened I was sure it was the motor that went bad. They slowly came to a jerking stop and nerver worked again. I checked the fuse and it was perfectly fine. Being lazy I decided not to fix it (used rain x in the meanwhile). Then one day I was driving in the rain and they suddenly came on but the switch was in the off position. While that was occuring I noticed that the Cuise light on my cluster was on (the switch for that was also off). Then every bump I would hit the cruise light and the ABS (antilock) light would alternate. While one was on the other was off and vice versa. When the cruise light was on the wipers would be going but then hitting a bump the ABS light would come on and the wipers would be dead again. This went on for about three days then everything stopped (wipers stopped working again and cruise light went off) but the ABS light stayed on constant now. I drove with it like that for about a month then yesterday I decided to check all my fuses in the car again. Now the wiper fuse was blown so I replaced that and the ABS actuator relay fuse was blown too so I replaced that. (remember these fuses were all good when the problems were going on) Started the car and the ABS light was no longer on and now my wipers work perfectly with the switch. Now that is some weired shit. Now my only problem is that the car is always fogging up. The vent (or recirculation) button on the climate control works perfectly lighting up when pressed on and going on when pressed again but I don't think it's actually opening the little door or whatever it does. This obiously just started as soon as the other problems were fixed. Just my luck

Sounds like a lot of people need to go through their vehicles and clean all the grounding points they can find. Myself included. That should solve alot of the light dimming problems at least.

when i roll my drivers side window down all the way, the little automatic power window amp box thingy will click, and idle drops about 200rpm, then click again and idle goes back up-i guess that thing drains alot of power lol
id fix it or get a new one, but im lazy and s14s are scarce at the local pull-a-part and those boxes are even harder to find!
